About Oat Flour

Oat flour is one of my favorite ingredients to use!  You can also buy it gluten-free, especially if you have allergies.  And if that is the case, switch out the peanut butter for Sunbutter. 

For the oats, I used Thrive Organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats.  They are chewy, filling, and hearty and are safe for those with allergies or sensitivities to gluten. They’re also free of preservatives and artificial ingredients.  But you can also use any type of oats in these.  Oats also give a subtle hint of nuttiness when used in recipes.

How to Make Oat Flour

Just add oats to a food processor and blend until coarse.  Then, keep pulsing until the oats become a fine flour, with little to no flakes of oats remaining, depending on texture you wish for your recipes.  

Use as needed in oat flour recipes and measure but it's nice to know when grinding oats, there is an almost 1:1 ratio for rolled oats to ground oats, (example, if the recipe calls for a ½ cup oat flour, simply measure just over a ½ cup of rolled oats).  

Ingredients You Need

• oat flour
• peanut butter or nut butter of choice
• maple syrup agave or honey, add more if want sweeter
• butter or coconut oil melted
• vanilla extract
• pinch of salt, if no salt in nut butter

How to Make Healthy Cookie Dough Balls

1. Mix together all ingredients in a bowl until well combined and consistency reached.
2. Scoop into balls using small cookie scoop or roll into balls and store in fridge or freezer.

Tips

• Refrigerate cookie dough balls and pop them in your mouth when you want a quick treat!
• Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.  Defrost for a few minutes before eating.
